That could be it….they are very susceptible to powdery mildew…the ones in the wild get it all the time, I think in my garden the reason i don’t get it bad is that i have resistant varieties ….and I try to never get the plants wet….rain I can’t help but when watering keep the leaves dry

A wonderful top ! The flowers and quilts are all so lovely! Saturday , I pruned the purple cone flowers back. If we have a long fall .. They will bloom again. I still have the Gerber daisy and dahlias to do.

Tim,
You showed the bowl that you used for baptist fan quilting pattern. I would be interested to know how you start the desing. I have always wanted to use it on an old fashioned piece but couldn’t figure out the starting point. Any help ?

That is a great Log Cabin quilt! You have a wonderful collection of them. It is amazing how many different lay outs there are for the Log Cabin. Do you find most of you antique tops on Ebay? Wonderful photos of the butterfly and your flowers,
